Christ Appearance » His personal appearance figuratively described
"{I continued watching} until thrones were placed and an Ancient of Days sat; his clothing [was] like white snow and the hair of his head [was] like pure wool and his throne [was] a flame of fire and its wheels [were] burning fire.
You are [the most] handsome of [the] sons of humankind; grace is poured out on your lips; therefore God has blessed you forever.
{His mouth} [is] sweet, and he is altogether desirable. This [is] my beloved; this [is] my friend, {O young women of Jerusalem}.
Just as many were appalled at you-- such [was] his appearance beyond human disfigurement, and his form beyond the sons of mankind--
For he went up like shoot before him, and like root from dry ground. He had no form and no majesty that we should see him, and no appearance that we should take pleasure in him.
And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothing became bright as the light.
and his head and hair [were] white like wool, white as snow, and his eyes [were] like a fiery flame,
And the one seated [was] similar in appearance to jasper and carnelian stone, and a rainbow [was] around the throne similar in appearance to emerald.
